Hey guys, I'm new here, and I want to get a new camera. I originally owned a 5 year old sony dsc s75 camera, and while I'm still very impressed with its quality, I need something better than a 3 megapixel. This is basically what I'm looking for.

- Sorta Compact (doesnt have to be super small, but small enough to fit in compact, sort of digital elph size)
- Nice pictures (no blurring in low light), sharp images
- Almost no manual settings needed to get good pictures (I'm a novice)
- At least 3x zoom
- Takes SD cards
- Doesn't take blurry images for hands that can't stay perfectly still
- Decent battery life.

I was honestly considering the Cannon SD500, until I read all the review on dpreview.com and cnet, which basically says its an awesome camera except it's not good for automatic users, especially in low light. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

You might want to take a look at the Sony P-200. You will prpbably save some money too.

I would get the sony, but I really don't want to invest in a nother sony becuase I don't like the memory card idea. How is the Casio EX-Z750 supposed to be? That looks pretty nice.
